i remember having a discussion here about what if all Asian actors and actresses refuse stereotypical roles en masse, and my answer was "yellowface".

some doubted that would happen in this day and age... and well, here we are.

What are you referring to exactly? Did people doubt that "yellowface" as a result of asian actors refusing stereotypical roles would happen or did they simply doubt that "yellowface" would happen?

I'm sure that Biel was considered not because asian actresses refused the role of Chun Li.

both, i guess.

does it matter why they did it in the face of the fact that for whatever reason, they actually decided to do it?

[mzhsacramento]

Yes, it does. If they did it because asians refused the role of chun li, then it would validate your prediction that yellowface would result from asian actors refusing stereotypical roles.

If they did it despite many asian actors wanting the role, then the conclusion you came up with (in your discussion of why asian actors take up degrading roles) isn't validated?

the counter-argument to what i was saying was that we've progressed too far for Hollywood to actually use yellowface. the fact that they're using yellowface even if there are probably Asian actresses that would take the role of Chun Li really only further supports my point. they're using yellowface now, what do you think they'd do if they can't actually find any Asian actors or actresses to fill the role of an Asian character?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hmmm...Biel. If that is the case, I don't know. She is 1/4 Cherokee so she ain't exactly full on white, but whatever. I still love that booty. :o

Well, in this case I am just glad they didn't go with Lucy Liu again. They can just hire Lou Diamond Phillips to play Guile, and Daniel Dae Kim to be Balrog and this movie would totally rule.

[Deadpool]

I wouldn't mind if Lucy Liu was in the movie.
Just as long as she plays Blanka.

[CBC guy]

Street Fighter? Movie?

Remember the ones in the early 90s?

[lethal]

I bet they change the character to not be from China to avoid the yellowface. "Chun Lee, descended from Civil War General Robert E. Lee."

[Dimeron]

They would be ripped apart by SF fanboys. Which will probably result in a even worse fallout than "yellowface".

The fanboys didn't prevent the first SF from being possibly the worst movie of all time. How much sway do you think they'll have this time round?

[mr. x]

Honestly why would they make a remake of a movie based on a video game who's peak popularity was back in the 90s?

[kimpossible]

The Rotten Tomatoes entry about Biel used another site as a source. That site lists two other actresses that were supposedly considered for the role.

I have a hard time believing that any of these A-lister gals would still have to take video game movies. Even comic book based movies are a step up from that.

Liv Tyler is doing THE HULK, not Jesse Biel. Although I do think that Biel will get the "Chun Li" offer on the Hyde Park/20th Century Fox adaptation of "Street Fighter." (Keira Knightley & Jessica Alba already passed). Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom Ltd. are developing a new movie based on the popular videogame franchise “Street Fighter.”

[Moong Joong]

While the yellowface stuff is offensive of course, personally, i'd rather have a white person play an asian stereotype than an asian playing an asian stereotype.

i agree. however, aside from the kung fu element, i don't think of chun li as a stereotype. i think the first movie gave her a decent back story as a cia operative seeking revenge for her father (as opposed to a typical jet li role of 'asian guy who fights to solve problem'). now that i think about it, ryu was way more shallow in the movie.

in any case, hollywood loves to bleach everything asian, so this doesn't surprise me.

oh i see i personally dont know anything about the SF character back stories, it's just i felt her being dressed up as a china doll wasn't good for asian representation.

[deez nuts]

does capcom still own the rights to the street fighter franchise? if so, capcom is a japanese company (i know there's a capcom usa. but, it's a subsidiary. the main headquarters is still in japan). you guys can blame the japanese for the potential yellowface if they cast a white chick in the role of chun li or not putting a stop to the white producers for doing it or whatever some of you are seemingly up in arms about.

[kimpossible]

when in doubt blame the japs.

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Video game series-to-movie projects usually suck in general. The very worst being the Super Mario Bros. movie and Mortal Kombat (the first one, not the intelligence-insulting MK Annihilation) being the most tolerable (but still shitty).

[BeTheReds]

I don't see the big deal. As long as they don't try to make her look chinese by scotch taping her eyes back or anything I wouldn't consider it yellowface. Sure it's using a white person for an Asian role, so in that sense an Asian girl is missing out on the role, but I can't call it yellowface.

Do you really want to see Ming Na Wen again tho?

[mzhsacramento]

Do you really want to see Ming Na Wen again tho?

I don't know. Is Ming Na Wen the only Asian actress capable of playing Chun Li?

[deez nuts]

when in doubt blame the japs.

i personally think a white chun li would be hot. white chicks china dolled up to look oriental are fucking hot.

[TB4000]

There's only one actress that has the range to play Chun-Li, and we all know who it is.

I don't think she'd make a good Chun Li as compared to a Cammy. =P

don't get me wrong, i think Jessical Biel (and Jessical Alba) is hot. but until the world runs out of its supply of athletic-looking Asian girls, i'm going to have to say that an Asian girl would play a better Chun Li.

Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom have signed action specialist Andrzej Bartkowiak to direct Street Fighter, a live-action feature film based on Capcom's video game.

Production is set to begin early next year with Fox distributing. Hyde Park's Ashok Amritraj and Patrick Aiello are producing while Capcom executive produces.

Bartkowiak's credits include Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle to the Grave and Doom. Prior to directing, his cinematographic credits include Lethal Weapon 4, U.S. Marshals, Falling Down and Speed.

The film is focused on female fighter Chun Li and her journey for justice. Justin Marks wrote the script and is currently doing a polish.

A film version of the game has already been produced before. In 1994, Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in the Universal movie, written and directed by Steven de Souza.

-----------

Still looking to cast Chun-Li.

[snow ninja]

well if they recently brought transformers out of the 80's and made a simpsons live action movie then this movie should fit right in.

[VV o n g B a]

where are the thundercats? cheetara.... raaaarhhh!

[Geese]

For whatever reason... I was thinking that maybe they would cast Chun-li with a Black actress. Just to add to the weirdness that's already going on with this movie. I saw this a long time ago, as far as Biel being cast for it. I said to myself "Gotta be a joke, eh!? Ig, hold-up a second? Ha-hah-errrr... gotta remember where I'm living at. The Honeymooners got re-cast as Black and I grew up watching that with Jackie Gleason, so? I've seen Jean Grey in X-Men, portrayed as a scientist on the level of Hank McCoy... when she was just a fashion model in the comic book, and she knew how to operate the X-mansion equipment, etc, like everybody else did. I've seen Halle Berry as Halle Berry instead of Storm. Where she yelps like a little bitch in X-Men and runs away when dudes body turns to water. And I've watched Avi Arad continue to destroy Marvel comics. This time he tries to throw his non-existant weight around and forces Sam Raimi to use a character he said from day one, he didn't like... So yeah, like the commercial says 'It could happen!'"

I'd like to see Bush Jr. as M. Bison! Nuff said!

Well, Street Fighter IV is coming out in the relatively near future, and there's a pretty big following for Street Fighter II Turbo HD Super Hyper Wacky Hijinks With Long-Ass Suffixes Remix, thought that might just be the old fans.

Cast update... (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1058516-street_fighter/news/1709828/)

Rick Yune is thrown a bone and gets to play Gen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen). I guess they will throw on a fake beard ala Gordon Liu. :rolleyes:

Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog (Boxer) and overseas actors Edmund Chen and Cheng Pei Pei probably playing some bit characters.

[Sunflare]

I posted pics on SF copsplay at the amine convention for laughs in the Akira movie review thread, started by TB4000.

Some of the girls dressing up as Chun Li (http://forums.yellowworld.org/showthread.php?t=34431) are HOT !!!!

My favs are Akuma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akuma_%28Street_Fighter%29) and Sagat. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagat) those SF characters was the bomb. Are the going to be in the movie ?

[Sunflare]

I used to laugh at all the rookies at the arcades who were trying to play Street Fighter but do the moves incorrectly. Funny like you don't know.

They did'nt know how to do dragon punches properly. They could'nt do it right so they keep on shaking the sh*t out of the freaking joystick till they break the damn machine and it, as a result, stays broken for a month, maybe a year.

You should see all the SF fiends going through scary withdrawal symptoms like drug addicts or something, middle fingering the store owners and throwing rocks and bb gunning the windows outside the stores or arcades cause the machine sits there still broken because of the damn clueless cheesy players who can't do hadokens right for sh*t breaking the damn machine in the first place.

I'm not even getting into the cheese when kids used to use Guile.:rolleyes:

Oh, and they even get blisters desperately trying to do hadokens. It's funny. I tell you, SF was the most evil plague that ever affected mankind, next to the AIDS plague and the Crack epidemic.

Ahhhhh. . . . .Back in the days. . . . . I still got my SFIII on my laptop on a MAME emulator playing it once in a blue moon for the nostalgic feeling. LOL. :starts seeing pink elephants again:

I'm sort on topic, right? :biggrin:

[Adaon]

Well apparently I'm not either, just saying, you don't have a poster of her in your room next to some Korean pop star you can't understand?

Funny enough, I visited my parents' place the other day, and my FINKL poster was still on the wall. Hahah. >_<

I was a Guile player, before I switched to Ryu/Ken/Chun-Li.

I liked his comb through the hair winning pose.

Button mashing ftw!

[Sunflare]

I envy Guile players. The cheese they use between the sonic booms/punch/roundhouse combos and flash kicks afterwards over and over again, was perplexing.

Forget the amount of quarters I wasted on real good Guile players.

Then the GOD called Akuma came out. . . . . No Charlie players then could touch me, and the other sonic boom guy in SFIII, the whatshisname with the silver hair.

[Broomer]

chun li's most memorable physical trait is that she's got thunder thighs. i don't think these count, but they're very nice to be sure.

[unemployable]

Off the hook! Street Fighter II was a great game. In this movie it would be nice to see more and better renditions of sonic booms, flash kicks, and yoga fires.

Yellowface in the past looked fake and racist, but I don't think that's what they're aiming for here. I wonder how they're going to pull it off if they're going to use Jessica Biel. One good thing about using a white girl is that you get out of the old story of stereotyping Asian females as exotic and sexy.

Seriously, who gives a fuck about Chun Li. Did anyone ever even use her when they played Street Fighter in the arcades? I guess she would be a good choice, if you hate winning.

[cloudzero]

dont people use chun li in the tournaments? i've always known her to be a 'cheap' character. i think its also cuz the dragonpunch been downgraded again and again.
but hey, i hate any sf movie without akuma

[Napoleon Chynamite]

^ I'm referring to the Chun Li in the older versions, not the newer updates like Alpha or the Vs. series. Chun Li was super cheap in Marvel vs. Capcom since she was so fast, combo'd so easily and inflicted so much damage. It's really the old ones that count anyway. Air blocking is for pussies and SF2 Hyper Fighting was the pinnacle of the series. Chun Li was quick but her hits didn't do shit in the old ones. The dragon-punch had ultimate priority and combos took off like 50% minimum fi you did it right. Triple-hit dragon punch with Ken, 55% damage, they'd be dizzy, hit them with another one, GAME OVAH sucka.

None of ya can test me with Akuma.

[Napoleon Chynamite]

lets see you beat anyone with dahlsim, it takes like 5 seconds for each of jab to come out

Dude Dhalsim is the king of corner traps and keepaway. And actually with the correct timing and a little bit of practice he's not that hard to learn at all. In fact Capcom admitted that Guile and Dhalsim were both toned down when they made the Champion Edition because there were complaints that they were cheap/overpowered in the first one (World Warrior).

I'd watch a Street Fighter movie centered around Dhalsim. First scene would involve Dhalsim kicking the shit out of the bad guys while standing 30 feet on the other side of the room. Badass.

None of ya can test me with Akuma.

Capcom made the Akuma character so that people who weren't coordinated enough to master Ken or Ryu had a new Shotokan character to choose that was naturally faster with cheaper super moves :biggrin:
